She said she has <br />aimed to keep intergovernmental spending flat. She said these funds are state and federal, <br />and my increase, but more than likely will be designated for actual uses. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said she will bring a balanced budget to the BOCC on May 5th. She <br />said some tough decisions have been made. <br />Commissioner Dorosin said the “difference” column is based on pre-Covid projections, <br />but if it is compared to the County’s 19-20 budget, the difference is not that great. He said it <br />looks much like a continuation budget. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said the $8 million increase from pre-Covid is fairly moderate. She <br />said this is showing status quo, and there are no additional funds for anything more than what <br />existed in 19-20. She said maintaining status quo may also be a challenge. She said the fund <br />balance was $6 million pre-Covid, and more will be needed. She said funds will have to be <br />transferred from other reserves, as well. <br />Commissioner Dorosin referred the intergovernmental funds, and asked if the slide <br />would look mostly the same, even after the County receives these funds. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said not really. She said operations still has an $8 million gap. <br />She said the County may receive an award from the State, but it would be pass-through money, <br />and would not impact the gap. She said these funds would help residents, which is crucial, but <br />would not close the gap. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said the purpose is to not fix the issue, but just to give the BOCC a <br />heads up before she presents her budget on May 5th. She said this situation is unprecedented. <br />Commissioner Dorosin asked if the federal government puts $5 million into the County, <br />why is it not counted in the pot. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said it does count for specific items, and must be spent on <br />designated items. She said it does not help with wage adjustments, the schools, etc. <br />
